Saying goodbye… but not to the forum..

Well the last 3 years and 51k miles with my 22’ Big Bend have been great. Many miles of smiles and adventures to places that people never expected to see a Sport tackling. But… all good things come to an end. I made the decision to trade in my BSBB on a 2025 F-150 Lightning to take advantage of the tax credit before it goes away next month. Getting used to the “EV” thing but I will say I’m am extremely satisfied with this trucks performance and features. A trip to Orlando and back Ft Myers cost me $48.00 bucks and 35 mins of my time that was occupied at a store next to the charging station.

Instead of being one of those people that make a good riddance post I’ll be staying around to help those here. I had some warranty heartache along the way with my BS but it was a very fun and much more capable vehicle that most people give it credit for. I had a blast owing it and will stick around to help others as much as I can.

I hope you enjoy your Lightning. I enjoyed mine for the 25 years I owned it. Of course mine got 10 miles per gallon and required premium fuel! That vehicle had range issues before it was popular! Even with two 17.5 gallon tanks I was hard pressed to get past 250 miles before needing gas. Not sure I could ever make the switch to EV in my lifetime but you never know. My hand could be forced by politicians.

Very Nice Lightning. My good Friend may He RIP had a Black Lightning like Yours and used to Tow an Enclosed Trailer with his 78 Chevy Malibu in it to the Drag Strip all the time.

It was a great tow vehicle. The 4.10 rear end and really wide lower profile tires were great. Mileage really didn’t drop much even towing.
